Good Morning All, My resume is one page long. At the bottom of the resume, there is a statement that says that my CV is available on request. My CV is 15 pages long. I have been working in the museum field for over four decades so there is a lot of stuff to cover. BTW, I also have a one page biography that I provide when asked to provide a biographical “sketch” for introductory purposes. The one page biography is very useful when I am to be introduced at a speaking engagement, or a radio, TV interview. That is my two cents. Wesley Wesley S.

I have also heard that your resume should be however long you need to describe your relevant skills. This means when you are first starting out you may have a one page resume but as you gain more experience and more skills it is ok to have two or three. Keep in mind your audience too. The Federal Government wants a lot more information when you apply, so those resumes can be much longer.

For me, that is two pages. I think the organization of the resume is much more crucial to getting noticed than the overall length. Ilana Short Mgr.

Lately we have been focusing on resumes and there are disagreements on what the rule of thumb is concerning length. Is a one page or multiple page resume the best option for museum jobs?
